Bundesliga title still open for grabs after Borussia Dortmund’s draw at Allianz Arena

What was supposed to be Bayern Munich’s statement night turned into another chapter of frustration—as Borussia Dortmund fought back to snatch a 2-2 draw in Der Klassiker, throwing the Bundesliga title race wide open once again.

The result may have thrilled Bayer Leverkusen more than anyone. Xabi Alonso’s side, seemingly running on borrowed time in recent weeks, were handed yet another lifeline—perhaps their tenth—by a Dortmund side that refused to roll over.

Despite a scoreless first half, the Allianz Arena saw no shortage of action, with Harry Kane missing a string of chances that could have put the game to bed early. And when you fail to finish, football tends to punish you.

That punishment came swiftly. Just three minutes into the second half, Hoffenheim’s Maximilian Beier silenced the 75,000 home fans with a shock opener.

But Bayern responded with fire. Raphael Guerreiro equalized, and minutes later, substitute Serge Gnabry completed the turnaround—showing glimpses of the form that could be crucial in their upcoming Champions League clash against Inter Milan.

Yet the drama wasn’t done. Dortmund struck again, denying Bayern all three points and, crucially, the chance to open up an eight-point lead over Leverkusen.

With the title still up for grabs, all eyes now return to Alonso’s resilient squad—still clinging on, still in the fight.
